5th Grade Self Portraits

5th grade just finished a project based on the work of Chuck Close. Close creates huge portraits that show all details of the subject. Students also learned that Chuck Close is now paralyzed and does not have full use of his arms. He has overcome many challenges, but still makes incredible artwork. Each 5th grade student worked from a digital photograph in order to make realistic self portraits.

I'm finishing my 9th year teaching art at the elementary level and 7th at Thomas Elementary. I love teaching art and sharing the cool things that go on in my art room. I try to post examples of every lesson that I do along with a full lesson plan for other teachers to use.
